Try Shift+3? The remote console is meant for emergency access only -- you should use an SSH client when possible: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-ssh-to-connect-to-a-remote-server-in-ubuntu or https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-ssh-keys-with-putty-on-digitalocean-droplets-windows-users.

I use remote console because I am behind a "only 80 port" firewall.

I will store all usual commands in files to execute them with cat xargs or a similar command.
